Question

I need to know how to do this.

I need to trigger an event when I clicked over a link for 2-3 seconds. if it’s less than 1 second then it does not do anything.

I hope I got my message across.

You can use timers to achieve this:

var pressTimer

$("a").mouseup(function(){
  clearTimeout(pressTimer)
  // Clear timeout
  return false;
}).mousedown(function(){
  // Set timeout
  pressTimer = window.setTimeout(function() { ... your code ...},1000)
  return false; 
});

See if this works for you! 🙂
